A scene from The Good Dinosaur 2015
Arlo

Butch, how'd you get your scar?

Butch

I don't know if you're ready for that story.

Arlo

I can take it!

Nash

Oh yeah, you gotta tell him pa!

Ramsey

That's a good one!

Butch
[clears his throat]

It was 100 degrees in the shade. I walked for five days with no water... Then I saw it - a pretty pond. I bent down to take a drink, when these crocs launched out of the water! One croc bit me on the face; ain't no way I wasn't its supper! Except for one thing... I wasn't ready for dyin' that day. I bit one croc in half, tail-whipped the other, and the last one... well, [deeper voice] I drowned that croc in my own blood.

Arlo
[amazed]

Whoa...!

Ramsey and Nash

DANG!

Nash
[shivering]

Ooh, look, look! Gives me the little goosies every time!

Ramsey

I love that story! Show him your souvenir!

Ramsey
[Butch opens his mouth, revealing a crocodile's tooth embedded between his teeth]

Ain't that just too good?!

Nash

Can I touch it this time?

Butch

No.

Arlo
[laughs slightly]

You guys would have liked my poppa. He wasn't scared of anything. I'm done being scared. [sighs]

Butch

Who said I'm not scared?

Arlo

But you took on a croc!

Butch

And I was scared doin' it. If you ain't scared of a croc bitin' you on the face, you ain't alive. Listen, kid, you can't get rid of fear. It's like Mother Nature; you can't beat her or outrun her, but you can get through it. You can find out what you're made of.

Arlo
[Butch's speech hits Arlo, who then sees snowflakes drifting down]

The first snow.

Ramsey

It's early this year.

Arlo

And I got to get home to Momma.

Nash

We'll get you to that watering hole.

Butch

A deal's a deal. At first light, we ride.
